How much sequencing depth is required for scFAST-seq analysis?

2026-06-23

Answer:
Recommended depth: 30,000–50,000 reads per cell 

  • Supported analyses: 
    • Standard gene expression profiling 
    • Detection of cluster-specific noncoding RNAs 

Comparison with 3' scRNA-seq:

  • scFAST-seq: Reads are distributed across the entire transcript (Broader detection coverage) 
  • 3' method: Reads concentrated at transcript end (Higher quantification precision at equal depth) 

At the same sequencing depth, scFAST-seq data may show slightly lower expression quantification precision due to dispersed coverage.
